"The Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi is a vassal of my Ming Dynasty, and I can't rob them of their land, so I went to tell Li Weiqi that as long as he handed over these two ports to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty would re-canonize him and keep him safe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Li Weiqi is the current king of the Later Li Dynasty, but since more than 40 years ago, the Later Li Dynasty general Zheng Song defeated the Mo Dynasty in the north, and the Later Li Dynasty returned to Thang Long, the Zheng family has mastered the appointment and dismissal of officials, taxation, drawing, governing the people, etc., the status is hereditary, and the king is only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys.

It is conceivable that under such circumstances, Li Weiqi's life is equivalent to being in the hands of the Zheng family, and he will definitely grasp all the straws that can save his life, and if there is the canonization of the Ming Emperor, presumably the Zheng family will not dare to dispose of themselves easily, right? It is precisely because of this that Li You is not worried that he will not agree.

"Your Majesty, the Li Dynasty is now divided between the north and the south, the north is the Zheng family, but the south is the Nguyen family in Hue, even if the king of Jiaozhi agrees, the Zheng family and the Ruan family may not agree?" During this time, Lu Xiangsheng strengthened his understanding of the situation in Nanyang, and he also knew the current situation in Jiaozhi in detail, and immediately raised his own questions.

The Nguyen family was originally an important minister of the Lê Dynasty like the Zheng family, and later because it aroused the suspicion of the Zheng family, so they invited themselves out of the town of Hue, after nearly a hundred years of operation, they have controlled the south of Cochin, and the Zheng family has fought many times, and now the two sides are engaged in the third major war in nearly ten years.

"What's so difficult about this, aren't the Zheng family and the Ruan family fighting? As long as they sell them some guns, it is expected that they will immediately agree, if the Zheng family does not agree, they will cut off their supply of guns and guns, and sell the guns that should be given to them to the Ruan family, and vice versa, the most important thing for them now is to solve this sworn enemy, which will care about one or two small things in the port; Besides, Jiaozhi is a vassal of my Ming Dynasty, so what is the point for them to donate one or two ports to the Ming Dynasty? "To solve such a thing, you don't even need to send troops and horses, just take advantage of the situation, and take advantage of the current situation of continuous war in Jiaozhi to come up with a good way, this kind of means of taking advantage of the differences between local forces to achieve their desired goals is also a common trick in the West in the future, Li You also thinks that this method is good, and the Ming Dynasty will make more use of it in the future, if you encounter a problem, you will have to use a large number of troops to go on the expedition, this is too cost-effective, or this bloodless method is good.

"This plan is very clever, so that neither the king of the Li Dynasty nor the heads of the Zheng family and the Ruan family dare to refuse the Ming Dynasty." Lu Xiangsheng quickly figured out the truth, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly.

Not long after, Wang Xuance's ship successfully arrived at the Sanya Military Port from Jinmen and joined the battle sequence of the Southern Naval Division, and the envoys sent from the capital also followed the most powerful warship in East Asia to the Southern Naval Division.

After getting acquainted with the situation of the Wang Xuance, the Southern Naval Division organized a fleet and arrived in Jiaozhi under the pretext of training, and this powerful warship quickly deterred both sides in the war, whether it was Li Weiqi or the Zheng family and the head of the Ruan family, they all guessed the intention of the Ming fleet in panic.

At this time, the messenger of the Ming Dynasty also came down from the Wang Xuance, Shi Shiran entered the Shenglong Mansion, promulgated the canonization of Li Weiqi, and proposed to let him dedicate these two ports to the Ming Dynasty, Li Weiqi was overjoyed immediately when he got this talisman, and these two ports were not important places, so he immediately agreed.

Then the merchants in the mission were also looking for Zheng Jie, the head of the Zheng family, "Marshal Tongguo Zhengqing Capital", and expressed his willingness to sell him a batch of muskets and cannons retired from the Ming army in exchange for his support in this matter; Similarly, another group of merchants also approached the head of the Nguyen family, "Temperance Hue, the Second Water Steps, the Battalions, and the General Inside and Outside, Binh Zhang, the Military Affairs, and the Taifu Guo Gong", Nguyen Phuc Yuan, expressed the same intention; These two people can equally share the country, and they are not idle people, so they immediately guessed Daming's intentions, but now that the situation is stronger than others, they can't bear the consequences of refusal, so they all expressed their support.

In this way, Cam Ranh Bay and Hue Port fell into the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the sailors of the Ming Dynasty soon brought in craftsmen and troops to build ports in these two places, and stationed troops to protect their safety, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty also flocked to establish trading houses and warehouses here, and sold all kinds of goods produced by the Ming Dynasty to the territory of Jiaozhi, and then exchanged for the grain and other specialties of Jiaozhi and then transported back to the territory of the Ming Dynasty; There was even a powerful chamber of commerce that obtained the right to mine minerals in Jiaozhi, and led people to select minerals that could bring them huge profits in Jiaozhi, and the famous Hongji Coal Mine fell into the hands of Ming merchants.

They mined coal from Jiaozhi and transported it to Qiongzhou Mansion by sea to smelt ore mined from Shilu Iron Mine, and a coal-iron complex that began to take shape slowly developed and grew in Qiongzhou Prefecture, and became an important steel and weapons production base in the Ming Dynasty for a long time in the future.

After taking these two ports, plus Manila, Singapore, Malacca and other places in Southeast Asia, a sea route that began to take shape was opened, and the Ming navy could start from Sanya, pass through the above locations, and then arrive in Sri Lanka in the south of Tianzhu, and use Sri Lanka as a base to gradually control the coastal strategic points of Tianzhu, and then gradually penetrate into the inland of Tianzhu through these strategic points, and finally control this huge market and raw material production area in their own hands.

It's just that in this way, the British Empire is probably doomed to lose this crown jewel in the future, and without India's vast market to digest British goods, and without the tea, jute and other commodities and raw materials provided by India, can the British Empire develop into an empire on which the sun never sets? Li You was deeply skeptical about this.

Heathrow, on the other hand, knew nothing about these things, and he was now trying his best to provide the Ming with information about India, sending batches of European scientists to the Ming in order to make a lot of profits for his East India Company.

For a long time in the future, the southern naval division will have to be busy to maintain the safety of the Nanyang shipping route and attack Tianzhu, but the northern naval division cannot be idle, although the northern Korea, Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and other countries cannot threaten the security of the Ming Dynasty, but their work is not only this.

So just when the Southern Naval Division was busy, Li You came to Jinmen Harbor to see off a fleet of the Northern Naval Division.
